Questões da Prova de Inglês do Enem 2017

Prova de Inglês Enem 2017

Questão 1 - Enem 2017


One of the things that made an incredible impression on me in the film was Frida's comfort in and celebration of her own unique beauty. She didn't try to fit into conventional ideas or images about womanhood or what makes someone or something beautiful. Instead, she fully inhabited her own unique gifts, not particularly caring what other people thought. She was magnetic and beautiful in her own right. She painted for years, not to be a commercial success or to be discovered, but to express her own inner pain, joy, family, love and culture. She absolutely and resolutely was who she was. The trueness of her own unique vision and her ability to stand firmly in her own truth was that made her successful in the end. 

A autora desse comentário sobre o filme Frida mostra-se impressionada com o fato de a pintora

(A) ter uma aparência exótica.
(B) vender bem a sua imagem.
(C) ter grande poder de sedução.
(D) assumir sua beleza singular.
(E) recriar-se por meio da pintura.

Questão 2 - Enem 2017


British Government to Recruit Teens as Next 
Generation of Spies

In the 50 years since the first James Bond movie created a lasting impression of a British secret agent, a completely different character is about to emerge. Britain's intelligence agencies are to recruit their next generation of cyber spies by harnessing the talents of the 
"Xbox generation".

In an expansion of a pilot program, Foreign Secretary William Hague announced Thursday that up to 100 18-year-olds will be given the chance to train for a career in Britain's secret services. The move to recruit school-leavers marks a break with the past, when agencies 
mainly drew their staff from among university graduates.

"Young people are the key to our country's future success, just as they were during the War", Hague said. "Today we are not at war, but I see evidence every day of deliberate, organized attacks against intellectual property and government networks in the United Kingdom."

The new recruitment program, called the Single Intelligence Account apprenticeship scheme will enable students with suitable qualifications in science, technology or engineering, to spend two years learning about communications, security and engineering through formal
education, technical training and work placements.
Segundo informações veiculadas pela NBC News, a geração digital já tem seu espaço conquistado nas agências britânicas de inteligência. O governo britânico decidiu que

 (A) enfrentará a guerra vigente e deliberada contra a propriedade intelectual no Reino Unido.
(B) abandonará a política de contratação de universitários como agentes secretos.
(C) recrutará jovens jogadores de Xbox como ciber espiões das agências de inteligência.
(D) implantará um esquema de capacitação de adolescentes para atuarem como agentes secretos.
(E) anunciará os nomes dos jovens a serem contratados pelas agências de inteligência.

                                    Letters
Children and Guns
Published: May 7, 2013
To the Editor: Re "Girl's Death by Gunshot is Rejected as
Symbol" (news article, May 6):

I find it abhorrent that the people of Burkesville, Ky., are not willing to learn a lesson from the tragic shooting of a 2-year-old girl by her 5-year-old brother. I am not judging their lifestyle of introducing guns to children at a young age, but I do feel that it's irresponsible not to practice basic safety with anything potentially lethal - guns, knives, fire and so on. How can anyone justify leaving guns lying around, unlocked and possibly loaded, in a home with two children? I wish the family of the victim comfort during this difficult time, but to dismiss this as a simple accident leaves open the potential for many more such "accidents" to occur. I hope this doesn't have to happen several more times for legislators to realize that something needs to be changed.
EMILY LOUBATON
Brooklyn, May 6, 2013

No que diz respeito à tragédia ocorrida em Burkesville, a autora da carta enviada ao The New York Times busca

(A) reconhecer o acidente noticiado como um fato isolado.
(B) responsabilizar o irmão da vítima pelo incidente 
ocorrido.
(C) apresentar versão diferente da notícia publicada 
pelo jornal.
(D) expor sua indignação com a negligência de portadores
 de armas.
(E) reforçar a necessidade de proibição do uso de armas
por crianças.

                        Israel Travel Guide

      Israel has always been a standout destination.
From the days of prophets to the modern day nomad this tiny slice of land on the eastern Mediterranean has long attracted visitors. While some arrive in the 'Holy Land' on a spiritual quest, many others are on cultural tours, beach holidays and eco-tourism trips. Weeding through Israel's convoluted history is both exhilarating and exhausting. There are crumbling temples, ruined cities, abandoned forts and hundreds of places associated with the Bible. And while a sense of adventure is required, most sites are safe and easily accessible. Most of all, Israel is about its incredibly diverse population. Jews come from all over
the world to live here, while about 20% of the population is Muslim. Politics are hard to get away from in Israel as everyone has an opinion on how to move the country forward - with a ready ear you're sure to hear opinions from every side of the political spectrum.

Antes de viajar, turistas geralmente buscam informações sobre o local para onde pretendem ir. O trecho do guia de viagem de Israel

(A) descreve a história desse local para que turistas valorizem seus costumes milenares.
(B) informa hábitos religiosos para auxiliar turistas a entenderem as diferenças culturais.
(C) divulga os principais pontos turísticos para ajudar turistas a planejarem sua viagem.
(D) recomenda medidas de segurança para alertar turistas sobre possíveis riscos locais.
(E) apresenta aspectos gerais da cultura do país para continuar a atrair turistas estrangeiros.
